WASHINGTON, NOV. II, 1887.
aovERNoK oeLEsny's DECISION.

The decision Of Governor oglesby
is to be accepted as the decision OF an
honest and fearless executive, who
having before him all that was neces.
sary 10 guide his judgmont-the argu.
ments, the evidence, the petitions for
clemency, the pleas upon which
clemency was asked and II general com.
prehensiou Of the drift of public senti
ment-hrrIved at the conclusion tha,
two only Of The condemned men were
properly entitled lU "a Communication OF
their sentence.
His opinion ia clear and logical.
Those who feared that the Governor
would yield In The sympathetic I'm.
plora,ions of the petitioners, and sus.
pend or divert the enforcement of the
law, should certainly be content with
his severe conclusions.
Satisfied as he is of the guilt of four
of the men, aud ln view Of their EN-.
phatic refusal to accept a cOmmutatlou,
he is pIecluded from considering the
question, so far as they are concerned.
His examination of the evidence adj
duced upon the trial, and his inability
10 discover anything in the record to
impeach the verdict. leave him no
alternative but to give the law its
course.
That he excepted two Of the con-
demned men from this decision Is due
TO modifying circumstances which con.
vinced him that their lives might be
spared in the Interest Of humanity and
without doing violence to public jus.
tice.
Governor oglesby Is not fairly
within the range Of outside criticism
The reasonable assumption is that he
occupied better position for dc
termining the merits of the case and
the proper course to pursue than
anyone else. 1t was no more his duty
10 listen to the clamor for the execution
OF all of the prisoners, without ex-
ceptlon, than 1t was to be swerved by
the indiscrimlnate appeals for mercy
with which he was overwhelmed.
We feel that he has done what he con.
sldered best under the circumstances;
that ho was fully impressed with
the tremendous responsibility resting
upon him; that he thoroughly under
stood the relations existing between
himself and the people as magisterial
officer, and that he also acted upon a
conscientious sense of his obligations as
a citizen.
The country will be satisfied with the
blood of the four men who have to-day
paid the penalty of their crime. The
example will be as etiicacious as though
the entire seven had perished on the
scaffold. 1t will convey TO all who
harbor schemes OF seditiou and con-
spiracy against the Government that
they cannot assume the attitude of
public enemies with impunity. 1t will
show to the world that while the Gov
ernment Of the United States is free 10
the highest and best sense of the term,
tolerant of error and slow TO wrath, II
Is, nevertheless, prompt to maintain
the rights of Its citizens against en-
croachment, and unsparing in Its pun
ishment of those who abuse their liberty
TO undermine the foundations of So
ciety, 10 discount the supremacy of thu
law, and to make war on the institution:
that of all other political institutions In

iment have pronounced the most benefi

cessful at il on account of their education
a. the Agricultural and Mechanical col
legs.
The college has, from its federal dona-
ton. a productive fund of $2)9,0OO, and
has had, as part of the $29S.7S7, appro-
priations amounting to $4,000, besides
| S21, 900 for state students at the college,
making $7l,0O0 taken out of the UniVer-
! sity fund. Besides this there has been
diverted from the same convenient source,
| $l4,495 for the Prairie View colored
school, which was never a branch of the
| University, but is claimed to be branch
of the Agricultural and Mechanical col
lege.
Thus it will be seen the college has had
from various sources:

As, however, it is claimed for the col
lege that it has derived no benefit from
the $2l 900 used for state students, nor
from $14,496 which it controls for the
colored school, still there is left the mu-
niicent balance of $48 1897, of which the
college has been the sole beneficiary.
Even to this amount should be added land
and residence valued at $17,912, donated
to the college by Brazos county, thus
swelling the subsidies and wealth of the
college to the princeIy sum of over half
million dollars.
The total permanent improvements of
the college, per last report of the dl-
rectors, amounts to $194662, embracing |

LABOR FUND

"For the encouragement of deserving
young men who often desire to pay por-
ton of their expenses by labor on the
farm or in the shops, some of the most
successful agricultural colleges have for
many years set apart labor fund. 1t is
believed that $1,000 per annum used in
this way here would not only prove a
most judicious benefaction, but would be
very influential in cultivatiug among the
students a sentiment of manly pride and
independence in manual labor"
Thus it will be seen they want money to
pay the students for practical instruction
in picking cotton and mending roads.
The truth of the situation is the stu
dents are generally city boys who won't
take to studying, much less practiciny
farming, and are nine out of ten of them
not farmers sons. Indeed, it is stated upon
good authority that the University has
three times more farmers sons attending
the University proper than the college
has enrolled as farmer students. The
records will hardly fail to show this.
Now, while it is not altogether an anon.
alous proposition to teach boys how to
work without working, to hoe without
handling the hoe, to saw without saving,
to plough without running furrow, to
pick cotton without picking it, or to gar
ner without gathering harvest, the boys
did not like such work as cotton picking
and road mendiug, and their Agricultural
training, whatever it Amounted to in
theory, seems to have made but little i'm
preston upon them, since, as stated,
out of thirty seven graduates of the col
lege but two took to farming as a liyeli-
hood. These were Aaron Talbot and
NJ. L. Armistead, both graduates in 1882
and it is not certain that they adopted
| farming, or have been particularly sue
